That's more like one version of the the GT calendar. The revised F3 calendar would then be like this:

April 2-3 - Donington Park GP
April 16-17 - Spa [GP]
May 7-8 - Croft
May 21-22 - Knockhill
June 11-12 - Thruxton
June 25-26 - Castle Combe
July 9-10 - Monza [GP]
August 13-14 - Silverstone GP
Sept 3-4 - Nurburgring GP
Sept 24 -25 - Mondello Park
October 8-9 - Silverstone Int.

Doh, forgot about the international races.

littleman · 3 Nov 2004, 00:18 (Ref:1143455)

And the Euroseries will support the Monaco GP! Still, I bet the BritF3 teams,sponsors and drivers will much prefer a high profile weekend at Knockhill or Croft with a bowl of soup and half a dozen locals for company!Oh - and they will probably get to see a Radical race.

Emma · 3 Nov 2004, 09:01 (Ref:1143613)

I still can't believe Oulton Park isn't on there!
It's also my local track.

Is it something to do with the amount of people?? Cos, if I remember rightly, in 2003 they had over 20,000 people there (it was packed out) but this year it wasn't as busy...

Ian Sowman · 3 Nov 2004, 09:22 (Ref:1143637)

It's because it is owned by Jonathan Palmer. None of the Motorsportvision tracks are on there.

I have seen no notice that the F3's are going to Croft next year, AFAIK it's just the GT3's

Ian Sowman · 3 Nov 2004, 13:37 (Ref:1143822)

I believe it was published in MN today Jase.

jase · 3 Nov 2004, 13:41 (Ref:1143824)

Ah, cheers mate, I knew of the GT amendment, just not the F3..

strider · 3 Nov 2004, 13:50 (Ref:1143833)

F3 was always going to Croft, Jason, it's just the date that was not fixed until now. See Gaz's original post on this thread.

jase · 3 Nov 2004, 13:55 (Ref:1143840)

Odd that it was never on the announced schedule on the official site, or mentioned at the Dinner. Or that the schedule posted by Gaz has no LMES tie ins.

strider · 3 Nov 2004, 16:02 (Ref:1143920)

Agreed so far as the website is concerned, although the F3 side on fota.co.uk looks to be correct now.

As for the dinner, I was there, too. Maybe you were looking for GT dates and I was looking for the F3 ones. I'm pretty sure Croft was up there with a date TBA, but they were only shown for a few seconds and memory can be confused by alcohol!

Ian Sowman · 3 Nov 2004, 16:07 (Ref:1143925)

I think Croft featured in the previous list in the mags as a 'date to be advised'.

Kicking-back · 3 Nov 2004, 16:43 (Ref:1143954)

Indeed - it was always on the initial list as a date TBA

The schedule posted by Gaz does have all the LMES tie ins.

The only difference between it and the latest version is the confirmation of the Croft date.

jase · 3 Nov 2004, 17:35 (Ref:1144011)

I stand corrected

You did have rather a lot to drink at the Awards Dinner so it's a wonder you even remembered they announced a calendar!

jase · 3 Nov 2004, 22:14 (Ref:1144290)

I have (near enough) total recall of the night, except for which bu**er nicked my DJ

mcurtis26 · 3 Nov 2004, 22:38 (Ref:1144303)

It's a great shame not to see the MSV circuits on the calendar, especially Oulton, but Monza is a great addition to the calendar, and its good to see Spa back for a second year. I'll be looking forward to Donington in April, should be my first meeting of the season. There's always the chance of the new Raikkonen-Robertson team running in the British series as well, which would certainly be a bonus. Last season was excellent, hopefully 2005 will be the same.

From my source that team will be running in europe. As it will have Merc engines.

Emma, SRO can't reach agreement with MSV over the cost of circuits so won't be going to Oulton, Brands Hatch or Snetterton in 2005.

A very worthwhile column on this very topic by one of my favourite journalists Matt James in yesterday's Motorsport News ...

Wrong thread? And hopefully your source is wrong too!
